I made a thread like this a few months ago, it got 11 pages, and everyone thought I was trolling.

I'm not.

Forge guns are so hyper accurate they're arguably the best anti-infantry weapon when you have the high ground...huge splash damage and extremely fast re-fire speed, you have maybe 3 seconds to find cover once you take splash damage from a proto forge gun...that is, if you weren't outright one-shotted by the splash damage.

These are AV WEAPONS and SHOULD NOT be able to kill infantry.

They SHOULD NOT function better than sniper rifles as anti infantry.

Splash damage needs to be reduced to almost nothing, the fact you can take out ~400 shields with 1 splash of a good FG puts the flaylock pistol to shame

Please CCP, this forge gun madness has to stop.

here's the 11 page thread if anyone is interested.

are you normal ? ok ill stop forging when the llavs and flaylocks get a little better in check .. and btw again imma say this so accurate THERE IS NO AIMING THAT THING ITS HIP FIRE ONLY NO L1 NO ADS NOTHING POINT PRAY AND AS FOR SPLASH YOU MUST BE NEW HERE THEY DID NUKE SPLASH DAMAGE it has less the you precious massdriver and flaylock ... its a gun that you acutaly have to get good with there is no close enough it has to be within 6 inches to hurt you ... wow

you have to charge it that takes a second
the round leaving is kinda slow you have to lead people
there is no ads you get 4 rounds a clip
there is hardly any splash damage
extrmely fast recharge speed ? what .... huh

only thing that can explain this ammount of stupid is inbreeding or drugs

There is clearly something wrong with this kid, or he is just trolling. Your argument has more holes than swiss cheese, done with this clown.

Next qq thread please.

Are you high? HARDLY ANY SPLASH DAMAGE? LOL then how is my 550+ sheild protosuit getting killed in two splash hits from a proto FG across the map on the tallest structure in the game?

When not firing towards a vehicle, it should gain crazy weird dispersion past medium range.

This keeps it from being used at long range against infantry, but you can still kind of make it work if they're really close; putting you in harms way.

This coming from a forge gunner who thinks this is faaaar too easy, and my controller screws with my aim :/

Because unlike the flaylock and MD... you know what this is is too obvious you use your brain and find the difference between the flaylock/MD and forge guns.

With Forge Gun Proficiency at level 5, you get a 15% bonus to damage. Throw on two complex heavy damage modifiers and you get another 20%, minus the stacking penalty. For the purposes of this post, I'll lower it to 15% (if someone could give me the actual number, it would be much appreciated). In total, that gives you a 30% damage bonus. Base splash damage for all proto forge guns is 277.2 (advanced and standard tiers have lower splash damage). 277.2 times 1.30 equals 360.36. 2 shots equal 720.72, 3 shots equal 1081.08 and four shots equal 1441.44. If your EHP (armor + shields) was higher than 720.72 at the time, then you were probably hit by splash damage followed by a direct hit. However, I did not factor in the reduced damage to shields and increased damage to armor.

Like I said earlier, you have to keep in mind that reducing the forge gun's splash damage also decreases its effectiveness against fast-moving vehicles.

Its a hybrid weapon it's dealing damage equally around the board. Unless we have 3 AV weapons that only hurt armor which would be a screw up on CCPs part.

i'm aware it's a hybrid damage weapon. the fact it's two shotting a suit with 550 shields still stands. you'd get two-shotted with 550 armor, too.

Numbers don't lie, nobody else finds it a problem an AV weapon can do 720+ damage worth of SPLASH in a couple of seconds FROM ANY DISTANCE?

You give someone a proto forge gun, stick them on a roof with a mouse, and they're going to go 20/0 by killing people with splash damage WHILE USING AN AV WEAPON

the only difference being you actually have to aim with a sniper which takes some degree of skill

Actually, with the charge up skill reduction, it will take less than 2.5 seconds.

Two hits with a forge gun takes a relatively long time to fire. I think this is a huge reason why many people won't take this seriously.

Yes, might as well kill the forge too. The HMG and now the forge guns, while we are at it we might as well cut the heavies shield and armor by half.
